Game Blog: Spurs at Cavaliers - Apr. 03

[timtonymanu]

Dominating half.

Let's hope the Spurs have a comfortable enough lead throughout because tomorrow's game will be difficult.

[angelbelow]

That might have been the most entertaining half of the seen. A lot of great play

To be nitpicky, I wish we were up by a lot more. That way we can get the big 3 some rest, Diaw/Mills some additional playing time, and let Green continue to go crazy against the team who drafted him.

Jackson is fine off the bench. The real question is do you put Manu back in the SL and if you do, do you put KL or DG on the bench?

[EVAY]

You know, those Cleveland fans have got to really be basketball freaks to keep paying money and showing up to watch that team.

[SpurinDallas]

Lets get up by 25 toward the end of the 3rd so we can sit our starters

[BigTDoe]

Manu is so efficient right now. Please stay healthy!

[NASpurs]

Spurs with 20 rebounds and 15 assists in the first half. Don't think I've ever seen those two numbers so close together at the half.

[Solid D]

1st half. 15 layups and 6 threes.

[Manu-20]

Jackson is fine off the bench. The real question is do you put Manu back in the SL and if you do, do you put KL or DG on the bench?

I would keep manu on the bench but obviously have him on the floor much more in the playoffs and to finish games off I just like him and jackson coming off the bench it helps out the bench a ton with their passing add boris and the playmaking on our bench is great

[Horse]

Man this is beautiful to watch! I love what I'm seeing from the Spurs, but I just keep thinking man the cavs really suck!

I'd leave Green in the SL, Manu can take his place in the closing line-up.

[urunobili]

Damn everyone looking great out there. staaaaaaaaaaaacked

Blair and Neal say hi...

Thing is Manu helps the youngsters learn the game.

[DesignatedT]

I'd leave Green in the SL, Manu can take his place in the closing line-up.

So you leave Tony,Green,Leonard as the starting backcourt in the playoffs?

[spursince#99]

2nd unit=1st unit <--- we're just that stacked

[NASpurs]

Matt Bonner with +12 even though all he has to show for it is a rebound, a missed three and a foul.

[TheSkeptic]

To be nitpicky, I wish we were up by a lot more. That way we can get the big 3 some rest, Diaw/Mills some additional playing time, and let Green continue to go crazy against the team who drafted him.

I don't know that letting Diaw/Mills play more in the second half either way would cause some sort of an epic meltdown...

[Mel_13]

yes

[timvp]

This game bores me

NASF in a nuts , tbh.

Matt Bonner with +12 even though all he has to show for it is a rebound, a missed three and a foul.

You don't question the King. You just enjoy it

[EVAY]

Matt Bonner with +12 even though all he has to show for it is a rebound, a missed three and a foul.

I think he only took one shot, though, didn't he? I mean it wasn't like he was missing a lot, and his defense has really picked up this year.

He isn't half bad on defense these days, imo.

Blair and Neal say hi...

true about blair... at least neal hit a shot

[ElNono]

I don't know that letting Diaw/Mills play more in the second half either way would cause some sort of an epic meltdown...

Why do you hate Matt Bonner?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Jackson is fine off the bench. The real question is do you put Manu back in the SL and if you do, do you put KL or DG on the bench?

Personally I like Manu and Jackson off the bench. Especially if Green gains some sort of consistency.

Parker
Green
Leonard
Bonner
Duncan

Neal
Manu
Jackson
Diaw
Splitter

[timvp]

Tbh, I don't change the starting lineup until it stops working well. Pop would be crazy to tinker too much with as amazing as the Spurs have been playing offensively.

[Manu-20]

I think he only took one shot, though, didn't he? I mean it wasn't like he was missing a lot, and his defense has really picked up this year.

He isn't half bad on defense these days, imo.

Matt bonners defense has improved much more this season but is it just me or does it seem his defense has even picked up even more since RJ left
